"Soon" is a flexible word that means an action will happen in the near future, but it does not have a strict or fixed definition.

What "Soon" Means
  • Unspecified Time: The exact timeframe depends entirely on the context and the person saying it. For a fast task, it might mean minutes; for a major project, it could mean days or weeks.
  • Asking for Clarity: As discussed on italki, asking "How soon is soon?" is a way to request a precise deadline or an exact schedule when a vague timeline is not helpful.
  • Tone and Emotion: Users on Quora agree that repeating or questioning "soon" can show impatience, doubt, or frustration when you feel you have already waited too long.
"How soon is soon?"

a day?
a week?
a month?
a year?

One of the dealers I spoke with said they showed a photo of the Fathom to the Dealers, but they were not allowed to copy the image. I did not pay attention to the MAche E , lightning or Maverick introduction. Did you see this same chumming approach on those new vehicle introductions? What does Ford gain by delaying a release of an image and some dimensions, with trims and opions to follow a month or so later? If production is scheduled for first quarter, would it not make sense to get a 60 day lead on preorder interest to help define the production material run?

I don't know if we can compare anything Ford has done in the past pre-release and what they are doing with this first UEV vehicle.

Or put another way, I don't know of any release that they have done in recent history that is anywhere as important to Ford.

I'm not defending or condemning. Just along for the ride with a very important moment in the history of the most Legacy manufacturer of them all.
